It doesn't matter when it finds the net. The Dane was desperate to find a goal and kickstart his pre-season and that's exactly what he did.

Man Utd ratings: Dorgu bags first goal for Red Devils to go with classy assist but Bruno Fernandes concern emerges
One star also seems set to lose out on a starting XI spot with displays such as this Dor dash delivery Man Utd ratings: Dorgu bags first goal for Red Devils to go with classy assist but Bruno Fernandes concern emerges MANCHESTER UNITED blitzed their way past Bournemouth in the Premier League Summer Series to make it two wins from two in the USA. Ruben Amorim will have been left impressed with the fluid display his side put on, even without the presence of big-money signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

It was Rasmus Hojlund who opened the scoring and looked like a proper centre-forward throughout to remind the boss of what he can do amid Benjamin Sesko transfer talk. But Patrick Dorgu looks to be becoming irreplaceable at left wing-back after another dynamic display, which yielded a first goal in United colours. Amad Diallo was also on target in a more attacking role, while there was also some glory off the bench for teenager Ethan Williams before Matthijs de Ligt turned into his own net for a late Cherries consolation. Here's how SunSport's Martin Lipton rated the Red Devils in Chicago. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Man Utd 4 Bournemouth 1 Hojlund responds to Sesko transfer news with first goal of summer Tom Heaton - 6 Rare outing in United colours for the veteran third choice and probably as easy an evening as he would have hoped for, with just one relatively comfortable save in the first half and a foot stop in the second. Tom Heaton, 39, has made a grand total of three competitive appearances across nine seasons and two spells at Old Trafford. Yet he might end up as Andre Onana's back-up this term. Leny Yoro - 6 More composed than he had been at times against West Ham, when he looked slightly insecure. Perhaps the presence of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw alongside him helped that. The Frenchman is a fan favourite already. This is going to be a big season for the youngster and he cannot afford to let runners in behind.

'It can be quite toxic... not healthy' - Shaw gives brutal verdict of Man Utd's failings but backs Amorim's tough stance Sky Sports Luke Shaw - 7 The England man had made the case for Amorim before the game and set about making his own on the pitch as he showed why he feels he can show his best form. Advertisement One outstanding tackle on Antoine Semenyo, covering across to the right when the Cherries flyer looked set to run in on goal, was textbook, although there would have been worries when he stayed down after one Evanilson tackle - thankfully not for long. Diogo Dalot - 5 The Portuguese has a fight on his hands to keep out Amad and Noussair Mazraoui to be the first choice right-sided wing-back. Nearly played Casemiro into trouble with one lax pass and looked uncomfortable when Dango Ouattara looked to explode down the Bournemouth left. Maybe he just doesn't like the wind and the rain? Bruno Fernandes - 5 Early shot from a tight angle forced a save but the deeper role restricted him from doing what he does best at the other end.

India pair Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja dent England's hopes of victory
Ben Stokes defied a problem with his right shoulder to dismiss KL Rahul for 90 and end a 188-run stand with Shubman Gill, who was out for 103 on the stroke of lunch in the fourth Rothesay Test. Jadeja was dropped by Joe Root off his first ball and he and fellow all-rounder Sundar settled India's nerves, taking them to tea on 322 for four – wiping out a 311-run first-innings deficit to lead by 11. The situation at tea ☕️ India lead by 1️⃣1️⃣ still require 6️⃣ wickets. Big final session needed 💪 🇮🇳 3️⃣2️⃣2️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Sundar, promoted to number five with Rishabh Pant injured, ended the session on 57 not out with Jadeja unbeaten on 53, leaving England facing the prospect of just a second draw in the Bazball era – both at Emirates Old Trafford following the 2023 Ashes washout. Aside from the prize scalp of Gill, England could not cash in on the second new ball, taken 40 minutes before lunch, with Liam Dawson offering containment but unable to exploit the foot holes on a fifth-day pitch. Indeed, Stokes offered the most threat, especially at the start of the day. There were doubts about whether he would even bowl after struggling with cramp and soreness in his left leg in Manchester. More fitness concerns became apparent after Liam Dawson started the day, with Stokes rubbing his shoulder following his first over then straightening his arm frequently from then on. Stokes might have had Gill on 81 but a drive burst through a leaping Ollie Pope's hands at cover to give Gill his second reprieve, having been put down on 46 by Dawson on Saturday. But variable bounce was increasingly in play and Rahul was struck on the knee roll by a delivery that jagged back and kept low, with an already-celebrating Stokes not even turning back to see umpire Rod Tucker's finger being raised. Gill wore a painful blow to his bruised right hand and helmet after another delivery from Stokes leapt off a length, but the India captain soldiered on to a ninth ton in 36 Tests. Alongside Sundar, Gill took India into safer waters and the deficit into double digits after England had taken the new ball without much reward. However, Gill then fiddled outside off to Archer a few minutes before lunch and feathered through a simple catch to Jamie Smith. Jadeja also edged his first ball, but Root could not cling on to a head-high chance at first slip. Jofra Archer gets the BIG wicket of Shubman Gill 👊 India four down! 🇮🇳 2️⃣2️⃣3️⃣-4️⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 Archer, usually excellent to left-handers, was too straight in the afternoon session, perhaps targeting the pads of Sundar and Jadeja, both of whom were all too happy to clip off their legs. Dawson was tidy but ineffective to the left-handers, prompting Root to be brought on after just 20 overs with the new ball, with the Yorkshireman getting one to rip past Sundar's outside edge. Stokes delivered a short burst before tea but leaked 15 runs from his third over and hooked himself as a short-ball ploy backfired, thumped twice to the boundary by Sundar and once by Jadeja as the pair brought up their fifties and took India into the lead. There was a possibility of a run out after Jadeja had pushed into the covers and set off, but the incoming Archer fell over while scooping up the ball and the chance was gone.
